I know. It didn't surprise me at all, but you got to it in your 3rd point in just the 5th post in the thread.

Calling illegal aliens "undocumented migrants"

I agree with most of yours Glenn, but texting is awesome. There are lots of times when I need to insult CantinaDan, but I don't want to talk to him or waste time with a phone call. Texting allows me the flexibility to insult my friends in an efficient way.

I'm just saying you knew it was a politically charged/loaded pet peeve. It is, and you knew it. Therefore, I rest my case, you went political in the thread first. And that's a fact, not a quantum theory.

A new one:

The noises dudes make in public restrooms while they go 1 or 2 -- I just don't get the weird breathing/snorting/grunting/etc. I don't have a fit on the toilet when I'm home by myself, let alone in public. What is going on with this? Anyone else experience this, or are all you guys bathroom trolls too?

For me, texting depends on who I'm communicating with. My close friends I talk to on the phone, and only text when I have to or only have a small tidbit to relay. There are PLENTY of people I text so that I don't HAVE to talk to them on the phone, because if I do, I'll never get off. But to text entire conversations is ridiculous.

Mine is actually people calling me when they could have texted. More often than not, I'm doing at least two things at a time and if someone calls that usually brings me down to one thing. I can text and do other things at the same time, even with a virtual iPhone keyboard but I can't hold the phone up to talk and do much else.

I've had an iPhone for 3 years now and I've only talked on the phone for 4,800 minutes. And most of that is only because my mom or gf (now wife) calls me. I have to talk to them.
